Please give defensible reasons for restricting the use of rifles in deer season in Indiana. By "defensible" I mean supported by fact and data and not opinion and judgement.
John, while I understand where you are coming from, freedom is not all encompassing. Even within freedom, there are limits, restrictions and such. For instance, should we then allow bait piles, allow snaring of deer, let people hunt from a moving vehicle. My point is only that "defensible" is not typically used in many, many aspects of the rules of society.
